When the Ship Comes In Lyrics

[Verse 2]
Oh the seas will split
And the ship will hit
And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking
Then the tide will sound
And the wind will poundAnd the morning will be breaking

[Verse 3]
Oh the fishes will laugh
As they swim out of the path
And the seagulls they’ll be smiling
And the rocks on the sand
Will proudly stand
The hour that the ship comes in

[Verse 4]
And the words that are used
For to get the ship confused
Will not be understood as they’re spoken
For the chains of the sea
Will have busted in the night
And will be buried at the bottom of the ocean

[Verse 5]
A song will lift
As the mainsail shifts
And the boat drifts on to the shoreline
And the sun will respect
Every face on the deck
The hour that the ship comes in

[Verse 7]
Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they’ll jerk from their beds and think they’re dreaming
But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
And know that it’s for real
The hour that the ship comes in

[Verse 8]
Then they’ll raise their hands
Saying we’ll meet all your demands
But we’ll shout from the bow your days are numbered
And like Pharoah’s tribe
They’ll be drowned in the tide
And like Goliath, they’ll be conquered
